✨Thank you for viewing! (*^^*) ◆ This is a rare, large soba choko (noodle cup) with octopus arabesque design from the Edo period (mid-Edo era)! I have 4 more soba choko with the octopus arabesque design. They differ in size and the patterns on the bottom. ✨ The pattern on the foot is also quite rare! ◆ The bottom is black because it hasn't been bleached. ✨ I think it's a very nice item ♪✨ ⭐️ This is a very popular large soba choko with octopus arabesque design, and I think it would be delicious to eat soba noodles from it! ◆ You can use it in infinite ways, such as drinking coffee or tea, eating yogurt, or serving a single dish. ◆ It has a presence just by displaying it. ◆ The mark in the 8th photo is not a scratch, but just an area without glaze. ◆ It is a very old item, so there are some scratches and minor imperfections, but they are not very noticeable. ◆ There are no chips or cracks, and it doesn't leak.
